AOL Mobile Search Service For The iPhone

AOL has officially launched the beta version of AOL Mobile Search service created specifically for the iPhone and iPod touch.

AOL Mobile Search for the iPhone was designed specifically for the Apple iPhone’s mobile Safari browser. Mobile Search has a traditional Web search engine, but also has features specially tailored to search the content of various AOL properties, including Moviefone, MapQuest, AOL CityGuide and others.

By combining AJAX technology and the iPhone’s easy to use multi-touch surface, AOL has created a user interface that allows the richness of the web to be delivered on a phone, says Steve Murphy, senior vice president of AOL.

The new search portal places a priority on iPhone-optimized websites and returns web searches with these websites at the top of the list.

How to Restore iPod( Windows )

First of all you must understand that restore is completely different from reset. Restore on your iPod will completely erase all files, backups, programs, and anything else you have on it.Restore means you turn your iPod back to the factory settings.

First, you want to make sure that you have the latest version of Apple’s iPod Updater software on your computer.

Now, let’s erase your iPod. This is an important step and if not done correctly can lead to problems later. You should also perform this step if you are selling to someone, it is like erasing your hard drive on your computer to prevent identity theft, etc.

Reason Why PayPal Is Going To Block Safari Users?

I think back in February, PayPal claimed Safari is not safe enough for them, especially due to inadequate phishing protection, and lack of proper support for PayPal’s “overused”(according to some voices) Extended Validation certificates. Now, the story resurfaced, with new details - PayPal is decided to block the use of any browser that’s not secure enough, and Safari is - obviously - one of the first targets, if not the first one.

Last week, PayPal’s Chief Information Security Officer, Michael Barrett, posted a white paper called “A Practical Approach to Managing Phishing,” in which the browser is seen as a key point in stopping phishing. Obviously, the first barrier is the email server - if the emails are properly filtered, they won’t make it to the mailbox, so the user can’t become a victim of phishing, but since phishing and spam are somehow related, I don’t see this happening anytime soon.

In the same document, Barrett said PayPal is working in providing features that will allow the site to warn, and even block, any user that uses an old or insecure browser. IE 7 and the upcoming Firefox 3, for example, support Extended Validation Secure Socket Layer, or shortly EV SSL, an authentification feature that turns the address bar green and identifies the company running the site, while Safari is not yet capable of this, ended up in being placed in the same category of “very old and vulnerable” browsers, together with the 10 year old IE 4!

Well, if you just visited your PayPal account in Safari, as you can see in the image at the beginning of the article, and everything was fine, so I can only hope that Apple will manage to keep up with the latest security technologies and avoid its users being blocked by PayPal. After all, it would be a pity to see this happening, while the market share of this browser is slowly, but surely, going up.
